The Substation is a gem in Roslindale Center! It is one of my favorite spots to go for drinks on a Friday, and they host a range of community-focused events that are a blast to attend. I’ve always recommended it to friends as a must-visit spot if you’re in the JP / Roslindale area, and I can now confidently recommend it as the best wedding venue!!
When my now husband and I got engaged, our only vision for the wedding was getting married at the Substation! We live nearby and have always loved the space—their focus on community events and supporting local vendors really resonates with us, and the venue itself felt like a perfect fit.
It is a stunning, architectural space with lots natural light from 20 foot arched windows and historic character (the owners Laura and Adam put a lot of love into restoring this space, and it shows.) All said and done, we had 110 guests, which felt like the perfect size for this space.
We can’t thank everyone from the Substation enough for their support throughout the wedding planning process: Vickie helping us organize ourselves and managing the entire planning process (no small feat!); Brenda for supporting us through the last few months and the day as an event coordinator, putting all the pieces into place, and being a calming and comforting presence for us; Laura for helping us with the open bar package, and Phoebe for managing the day of! We had three bartenders on site who were also lovely and did an amazing job, the drinks were delicious and got lots of compliments from friends and family.
Everyone from the Substation is so kind and truly invested in their work. You all made our wedding such a special and unforgettable day, we can’t thank you enough!!!
